Chapter 12 Ice Jade Cold Plum Carved Bone Condensation

The moment the door opened, Zhixue was like a dream.

In front of him, there was a pure white world. The cold came, and the snow couldn't help shivering.

"Go in and have a look..." Mei Xinyi said, "This is the secret room of the Cold Flower Palace. This secret room is surrounded by cold jade. Hanyu has the miraculous effect of removing poison and calming the heart. More importantly, if you practice in this secret room, your internal force will operate involuntarily to resist the cold, which is equivalent to practicing every moment, even in your sleep.

The secret room is empty except for a bed and a jade desk. Pure white jade, crystal clear, shines a different kind of light. On the jade, there are carved plum blossoms, which are exquisite and beautiful. Zhixue couldn't help marveling.

"This secret room was built a hundred years ago. Every generation of palace owners has practiced martial arts here. The cold jade ice cave is the dream of many people.

"Snow, as soon as you stand with the gentleman's sword, you can come here to practice martial arts diligently after arranging the things at hand. Originally, Zhixue and Mei Niang practiced separately. Now you have to practice together. The important thing about the cold sword is that you two can communicate with each other and greatly enhance their power. However, if you don't agree, the snow holding the sword will be easily hurt, and Mei Niang will also be devoured by the sword spirit.

Yes. Zhixue and Mei Niang answered.

Mei Xinyi continued to lead Zhixue and Mei Niang in and pushed open a small door made of jade, which was a marble hall.

Mei Xinyi waved her hand gently and lit the light in the hall. Hundreds of tung oil lamps lit up the hall. The lights are staggered on various lampstands.

With the light, the snow looks around. In front of it is a stone table, which is lit with sandalwood and worships the palace owners of past dynasties. On the wall is a portrait of the palace masters. The lights were dim and shone on the yellow portrait. Zhixue and Mei Niang both felt nervous and involuntarily approached each other. On the left side of the stone table is a shelf for weapons. There are several swords on the shelf. On the right side of the stone table, there is a bookshelf with many books on it. Next to it are a few chairs.

"This is the altar dedicated to the palace masters of all dynasties. There is also a martial arts book that you can't study all your life. The palace owners of past dynasties were the first to inherit the position of palace lord here..."

Zhixue and Mei Niang are both shocked. Today, what does it mean for the master to call them to come here?

Mei Xinyi worshipped the palace masters of all dynasties and ordered Xue and Mei Niang to salute.

The two burned incense and saluted according to their words. The lights flashed with strange colors.

Mei Xinyi watched the two salute and sat on one side of the chair. She seemed to be a little tired and rubbed her forehead with one hand.

"Master, are you not feeling well?"

The snow bowed and asked with concern.

Mei Xinyi sighed and nodded:

"I have something important to tell you today. I was closed to practice martial arts a few days ago, but I was anxious for a moment, which led to the retrograde of my bloodline. I'm afraid it won't be long..."

"Master!"

Both of them were shocked.

"You don't have to be afraid. Everyone has a death. There is nothing for those who practice martial arts to die in martial arts. However, the big enemy of Lenghua Palace is present, and even if I die, I will arrange the aftershi shi..."

Mei Xinyi said indifferently, but the two were shocked and scared.

The people in front of them are the people who changed their fate. Over the years, everything about them has been related to her. All luck and misfortune are due to the decision of that day and the words of this person. They never expected that all this would change today. That's what she wants to leave.

Mei Yi ignored the surprise of the two.

"I still remember that I met you as apprentices on that day. It seems that my choice is good, and it is also a fate. Mei Niang, the holy aunt of the Cold Flower Palace, is a symbol of the dignity of the Cold Flower Palace and the source of endless internal strength of the Cold Flower Palace. This internal force depends on the cold jade ice cave and the essence of heaven and earth. The piano I taught you, with internal strength, is in line with the martial arts of Lenghua Palace. Your heart is pure and clear, and you can get the essence of heaven and earth. If the two of you practice diligently and communicate with each other, you will be afraid that the power of the cold sword is more than ten times today. Mei Niang, do you understand?"

Mei Niang nodded: "Disciples understand."

"Mei Niang, I have only let you practice the piano over the years and haven't done anything for the Lenghua Palace. It's not that you are not responsible for the Lenghua Palace, but that you don't want your heart to be disturbed by the world. You should remember that you have to do your duty to cooperate with the palace master, but you can't ask about palace affairs. Do you remember? Linglong's things can't happen again. Mei Xinyi looked at Mei Niang, which was never strict before.

Mei Niang nodded and said yes.

Mei Niang turned her head and looked at Zhixue, and her eyes were a little complicated:

"Snow, I have always valued you and know that you have the ability to manage the Cold Flower Palace well. You are good at martial arts, talented, and smart, which is not inferior to others. At this moment, it is urgent, and I am determined to give you the Cold Flower Palace..."

"Master!" Although Zhixue expected this, she was still a little shocked to hear the master say it himself.

"Sixue's talents and wisdom are above Zhixue. How can Zhixue be arrogant?"

Mei Xinyi shakes her head:

"It is difficult for those who are limited to a moment's vision and selfishness. I passed the position of palace master to you because you know how to take care of the overall situation and endure compassion. Only such a person can control the overall situation. However, sometimes I can't figure you out..." Mei Xinyi sighed.

"Master, please make it clear that my disciples dare not deceive me." The snow is puzzled and doesn't know what it means.

"You are an arrogant person and have always had your own opinions. I always wonder if this cold flower palace can keep you..." Mei Xinyi's voice was faint, but the meaning was too heavy.

Snow kneeling on one knee:

"Master, even if the disciple is bold, he dares not betray the master. The master said this seriously, and the disciple couldn't afford it. If there is anything wrong with the disciple, please teach the master a lesson!"

"You don't have to panic. I can trust you when I said this today. Trust your loyalty. Mei Xinyi said, "I know that many times you don't approve of what you are asked to do. You are always too independent, but from now on, you must consider Lenghua Palace. Do you understand that you can afford to take the position of the head of the Cold Flower Palace?

"Yes," the snow answered in a low voice.

Mei Xinyi smiled and told Mei Niang:

"Go and bring the gold box on the table."

Mei Niang took the gold box, brushed off the soil on it, and handed it to Mei Xinyi. Mei Xinyi ordered Zhixue to kneel down. Pick up her left hand and put it down again. She stretched out her left hand in front of the snow. Mei Xinyi's fingers are slender, white and smooth, and well maintained, but there is a huge plum-shaped ring on the ring finger of her left hand. The ring is made of white jade, and the carving is extremely exquisite and cumbersome. What's more rare is that the jade is wrapped with silver wire, which will not break. However, Mei Xinyi's little finger was incomplete, and the white plum blossom just covered the wound.

"Do you know why I don't have a little finger?"

zhixue noticed it before, but she didn't dare to ask the origin of the scar.

Snow shakes its head.

"Thirteen years ago, the owner of the former palace also sat here, cut off my little finger and put on a plum blossom ring symbolizing the sovereignty of the Plum Blossom Palace for me."

The snow was frightened and looked at Mei Xinyi.

Mei Niang next to her also looked frightened and couldn't help exclaiming:

"This is too painful..."

Mei Xinyi ignored the two and gently knocked on the machine bracket of the gold box and held a sharp knife in her hand.

"Snow, stick out your hand..."

"Master..." Zhixue grabbed his clothes, and his eyes were full of prayers.

Mei Xinyi ignored the snow's pleading eyes, stretched out her hand and ordered:

"Put your hand over..."

Zi Xue bit her lips tightly, stretched out her trembling hand and put it in Mei Xinyi's hand:

"Master..."

Mei Xinyi's hands were very cold, and Zhixue couldn't help trembling.

Mei Xinyi held Zhixue's left hand in her hand and put a delicate knife in the middle of her ring finger and little finger in her right hand. The blade was cold, and Zhixue's body couldn't help trembling, but her hand was held more tightly by Mei Xinyi. Mei Xinyi waved her right hand, and a stream of blood splashed out. Mei Xinyi leaned slightly and splashed on the wall behind her. Blood flowed down her hand and Zhixue's hand to the ground in an instant. Ten fingers connected to the heart, and the snow's "ah" scream was already full of tears.

"Sister..." Mei Niang also half knelt beside Zhixue.

Mei Xinyi still held Zhixue's hand tightly and let Zhixue struggle in pain. She took out a bottle of medicine from the small box, held Zhixue's hand and sprinkled it on Zhixue's wound.

With fire-like pain, Zhixue suddenly pulled her hand out of Mei Xinyi's finger and couldn't help shouting.

"Ah, it hurts..." The man suddenly fell down, and his body shrank on the ground with pain.

Mei Niang stretched out her hand and held Zhixue tightly in her arms. When the snow calmed down, her face was full of tears, sweating all over her head, and her hair was messy on her forehead. Mei Niang helped her with her hair and wipe her sweat with pain.

For a long time, Mei Xinyi took off the ring in her hand:

"Come here and I'll put it on for you."

The medicine is very strange. After a burst of burning pain, the wound soon stopped bleeding and healed quickly, but it was still painful.

Zhixue obediently stretched out her hand and let Mei Xinyi wear the ring on her ring finger. The hollow carved plum blossom wore edges and corners and suddenly stung the wound. Mei Zhixue trembled again, and tears turned around her eyes, and she couldn't help flowing out.

"Zi Xue, there is the spiritual position of the palace masters of all dynasties, and there is me as a master. You swear that you will be loyal to the Lenghua Palace for the rest of your life, and to the ancestral teachings of the Lenghua Palace, and you will never leave!" Mei's cold instructions were very serious.

The snow shook, facing the spiritual position, landing on his knees, raising his hand and vowing:

"The emperor's earth is on the top, and the palace masters of all generations are in front of him. Mei Zhixue, a disciple of the Cold Flower Palace, vowed to be loyal to the Cold Flower Palace in this life and to the ancestral teachings of the Cold Flower Palace, and will never violate it. I will never leave the Cold Flower Palace in this life. If I break my oath, people and gods will abandon me!"

The snow made a sound, and the sound echoed in the empty stone room.

Mei Xinyi smiled happily.

"Snow, you have to remember that from today on, all the affairs of the Cold Flower Palace will be entrusted to you. If you support the great cause of the Cold Flower Palace, there will be no turning back. Just like this broken finger, it can no longer be restored." Mei Xinyi said coldly.

The snow nodded heavily.

"You come here to practice martial arts tomorrow. I'm not sure about the battle against Chen Du..." Mei Xinyi said.

"Master, the disciple is not talented and fight with all his strength."

Mei Xinyi shakes her head:

"Your heart is good, but we can't do this. I arranged today to protect you and the Lenghua Palace. You can't make any mistakes. You practice martial arts well, don't think too much about it. Compared with Chen Du, the gap between my martial arts and Chen Du will not be small. How can you stand cheaply? I'm also too anxious to beat him, which leads to the bloodline retrograde. You have to practice hard, but you can't mess up your mood, understand?"

Snow nodded:

"However, the master is injured and the disciple is not good at martial arts..."

"I will fight with all my strength that day. After my death, you will work together and the mourners will win. I don't believe that I can't win the gentleman's sword!" Mei Xinyi said proudly.

The snow is very surprised:

"Master, you are injured. You should take good care of yourself. If you rush..."

"I am already a retrograde bloodline. Even if I have recovered, I am just a useless person. If I fight to the death, I may not have no victory. Zhixue, Mei Niang, I know that you have reservations about the Lenghua Palace. Many times, you do not agree with the practice of the Lenghua Palace. However, you should know that the Lenghua Palace gives many helpless women a foothold in this chaotic world. In this world, many things are inevitable. The disciples of Lenghua Palace are all women. If we don't experience it, how can those people let us survive in the world?" Looking at Zhixue and Mei Niang, Mei said slowly, "If it hadn't been for Lenghua Palace, I might have been a pile of white bones in the wilderness. I also had a happy family. Although I am not rich, I also have a rich family. My father is a talented teacher, and my mother is also slightly literate. I also have a younger brother, who is very lively and cute, and the family is happy together. However, it was because I went to buy flowers for my mother..." Mei Xinyi's eyes were filled with tears. She recalled the events of that year for the first time. After a long time, the pain was still so real: "I went to buy flowers for my mother and happened to meet the county magistrate's son. She looked at me and must let me be her a concubine. My parents didn't agree, so they borrowed it. Therefore, my family was sent to prison. In order to save my parents, I had no choice but to promise him. He let my family go and threatened them to leave home. So I married into the county magistrate's house. However, that prince just liked me for a while and soon became tired of the new and old. After those fresh days, I was no different from a rough girl in their eyes. However, I was found out that I was pregnant. She forced me to drink the abortion medicine, and was afraid that I would tell her harmed me, saying that I had stolen something and wanted to kill me... I was killed by them and threw it into the field. Fortunately, the lord of the palace saved me..."

Zi Xue and Mei Niang both sighed.

"I gradually understood that if we don't have power in our hands, then it's useless to say anything. Not only one person, but also a country. You are separated from your family during the escape. You see, this country has no power, and it is also a country. Isn't it chased and beaten? We don't have the power to save the world, but we must afford to save these people. The purpose we want is the main purpose. Sometimes it may damage the interests of some people on the surface, but it is often inevitable. Women are weak. If you want to be strong, you have to be more ruthless to others and yourself. I don't want to. I have a cold face every day. You all hide from me coldly, but only by making you strong can you gain a foothold!"

The first time I listened to the master's gentle reasoning, the two nodded repeatedly.

"So, I am grateful to Lenghua Palace. Even if I die, I don't regret it. Zhixue, no matter what happens in the future, don't give up the Cold Flower Palace, do you know?

Zhixue nodded and was also deeply moved by Mei Xinyi.

"Yes, Zhixue will definitely protect the Lenghua Palace like a master."

"Under no circumstances can you be influenced by others. Don't succumb to any sect and don't join any sect!"

"Yes, Zhixue remembers not to succumb to any sect and does not join any sect."

"You swear!" Mei Xinyi said again.

Without hesitation, Zhixue knelt down in front of the master again and raised his hand to swear:

"The snow will make every effort to maintain the cold flower palace and never give up. Lenghua Palace does not succumb to any sect and does not join any sect! If you break your oath, you are willing to suffer all the sufferings in the world!"

Mei Xinyi nodded to show her satisfaction.

The secret room is actually connected to Mei Xinyi's residence. However, you can return to the cold flower palace from the secret room, but you can't go directly from the cold flower palace to the secret room. If you enter the secret room from the Cold Flower Palace, the door can no longer be opened. This is the last arrangement of Lenghua Palace to protect itself. Zhixue helped Mei Xinyi back to the secret room of the Cold Flower Palace from the small door. The predecessors of Lenghua Palace did their best to preserve the strength of Lenghua Palace.

The next day. Mei Xinyi arranged for Xue and Mei Niang to practice in the cold jade secret room. Because he was afraid that it would shake everyone's faith before the war, he temporarily concealed his illness.

In the first few days of practicing in the secret room, it was Zhixue and Mei Niang who practiced swords and piano scores. The two practiced while thinking about it. Every day, Mei's confidant's disciples bring food, which is also very leisurely and comfortable.

On this day, Mei Xinyi came to see them practice and ordered the two of them to practice what they had learned in the past few days.

The snow practiced a cold sword. All disciples of the Cold Flower Palace learn the cold flower sword as soon as they enter the Cold Flower Palace. There are many moves of cold flowers and cold swords, and there are seven realms. Ordinary disciples also practice two or three times, and in the martial arts, they are also ordinary good hands. Zhixue has a very high talent and has practiced five times, and there are not many enemies. Now in this secret room, Zhixue is practicing the sixth weight. However, each weight increases the difficulty of one weight. And Mei Niang, with internal strength, played the rhythm of the cold sword with the sound of the piano and gave strength to the snow. Zhixue and Mei Niang, careful research, did not make many breakthroughs.

Mei Xinyi watched the two people practice, and her expression became colder and colder:

"Is this the martial arts you have practiced diligently these days?"

Snow and Mei Niang hurriedly knelt down:

"The disciple is not talented and has failed to live up to the expectations of the master!"

"I don't want to force you, I'm afraid you are in a hurry. But you are so loose that you haven't made progress!" Mei said angrily.

Zhixue and Mei Niang lowered their heads and dared not reply.

Mei Xinyi ordered Mei Niang to get up. She has excellent talent. No matter how difficult the piano score is, if you look at it once or twice, it can pop up smoothly. There is nothing wrong with it. Then, he ordered Zhixue to take the whip next to the altar and ordered her to take off her clothes and be tortured.

Zhixue did not dare to disobey. He took the whip and handed it to the master, and then went to his thin shirt.

The unprepared whip came down one after another, as if it had torn the body. The master used his strength, much more powerful than the disciples who were executed in Zhengcongtang. Zhixue clenched her teeth and endured, refusing to make a sound. Mei Niang next to her has burst into tears.

After beating more than a dozen whips, Mei Xinyi was slightly tired and said, "You have to remember that if you get more, you have to bear more!" From today on, I will come here every evening. You have to practice 16 tricks and 32 changes every day. If you don't practice well, you will kneel down in front of me with a whip!"

"Yes!" The snow is heavy.
